Type 'm' in front of each and then "B s" to a new date.  If you want to
move them all forward one week to the same day, I think you'll have to
write some elisp.

Tasks that have a SCHEDULED date will stay in the agenda until they  
are done.

You can customize Org to use Due instead if you prefer this shorter  
word - even though I think Due is more like DEADLINE.

Use SCHEDULED: or DEADLINE: with TODO state tasks and they continually
show up on the agenda until you mark them done.

I was wondering about that.  Is the latter hardcoded in important places?  e.g.

(defun org-get-deadline-time (pom &optional inherit)
  "Get the deadline as a time tuple, of a format suitable for
calling org-deadline with, or if there is no scheduling, returns
nil."
  (let ((time (org-entry-get pom "DEADLINE" inherit)))
    (when time
      (apply 'encode-time (org-parse-time-string time)))))

... or are all the places such as above merely keywords for looking up
the DUE value?

That must be it.  I think I just noised the list with that.

DEADLINE is just an internal key here, it will look for whatever you  
can configured in org-deadline-string.
